Health / 5 Nurses Caught Viewing Size Of Dead Patient's Manhood In US by thomasina: 3:36pm On Sep 07, 2017
Five nurses were suspended for opening a BODY BAG to gawk at the size of a deceased man's genitals

*Five Denver Health Medical Center were suspended for three weeks earlier this year for gaping at a dead patient's privates

*Another nurse overheard them talk about it in May and complaint to superiors, sparking internal investigation

*Four of the five nurses have since returend to work; fifth nurse quit



The incident took place at Denver Health Medical Center between late March and early April, but it was not reported until a month later, according hospital administrators.

The Denver Police Department investigated the matter, but ultimately found that no crime has been committed and allowed hospital officials to discipline its snooping staffers internally.

According to a police report, between March 31 and April 3, five nurses working at an unspecified medical unit at Denver Health observed the generously endowed male patient while he was still alive but incapacitated, and also after he passed away, as The Denver Channel first reported, citing an anonymous tipster.

To satisfy their curiosity, the medical staff went so far as to open a body bag to ogle the late patient’s genitals for their size, and then talked about what they had seen among themselves, as a hospital spokesperson has confirmed to the station.


Another nurse who overheard their exchange felt that it was inappropriate and reported it to her superiors on May 8.

In the wake of an internal investigation sparked by the complaint, five nurses were suspended from their jobs for three weeks.

Four of the nurses have since returned to work. The fifth nurse is no longer employed by the hospital, but she was not fired, according to officials,

After reviewing the complaint, the Denver District Attorney’s Office has concluded that there was insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges against the staffers for their inappropriate conduct.

The nurses at the center of the case have not been identified, and neither has the deceased patient.

In an email to DailyMail.com on Wednesday, a spokesperson for Denver Health said the deceased patient's next of kin have been notified of the incident.

'Denver Health is truly sorry this happened,' read the emailed statement. 'This incident it is not an appropriate representation of the high-quality care and compassion our clinical staff strive to provide to our patients.'

Phones / Whatsapp To Undergo Major Transformation, Introduces Whatsapp Business App by thomasina: 2:19pm On Sep 06, 2017
Whatsapp is currently undergoing a major change.

The messaging app owned by Facebook is introducing some new features developed to help it earn money.

It is making it easier for businesses & regular users to communicate on the platform, & says people will be able to place orders on Whatsapp, & even receive updates from companies through it.

It has started testing tools on the Whatsapp Business app, which has been built for small companies, & also says it is working on "An enterprise solution for bigger companies operating at a large scale with a global base of customers".

The Whatsapp Business app is at present free to use, but the firm has told the Wall Street Journal that it intends to charge businesses "In the future".

"Over 1 billion people use Whatsapp every day to stay connected with their family & friends, & over time, more people are using the app to communicate with businesses they care about too," said Whatsapp in a blog post.

In fact, lots of connections are already taking place daily, whether it is someone placing an order with a local bakery or looking at new styles from a clothing store. But the way this happens now on Whatsapp is pretty rudimentary.

The announcement is prone to raise fears of getting spammed by companies.

While this doesn't necessarily mean that ads definitely aren't coming to Whatsapp anytime soon, the company has previously labelled adverts as "The disruption of aesthetics, the insults to your intelligence & the interruption of your train of thought".

Speaking about Kim Kardashian's infamous nude selfies, X Factor judge, Sharon Osbourne, not only slammed the 36-year-old star but also rubbished her idea of exposing her body in the name of feminism.

"Kim says she's doing everything in the name of feminism, but that's not feminism!" the English TV host told The Telegraph about Kardashian, who has stirred quite a frenzy with her almost naked Paper magazine cover and numerous social media posts in the past.

"While the better-half of rocker Ozzy Osbourne doesn't seem convinced with the idea of advocating feminism by exposing, she admits that the mother-of-two has every right to flaunt herself online."God bless them, if Kim wants to show off her body, fine," the 64-year-old asserts adding, But that's not feminism, that's being a ho.

In a selfie shared on her Twitter feed in 2016, theX-Factor judge had famously impersonated Kardashian's nude picture, with just 2 black lines covering her modesty.

A Nigerian engineer & neuroscientist, Oshiorenoya Agabi, is blazing a trail in America's Silicon Valley by making drones that can smell bombs far off.



Agabi is the founder & CEO of the Silicon Valley startup, Koniku, a wetware company which is the world's first neuro -computationcompany.

Phones / Hi-fi Quad DAC Audio Features Now Available On The LG V30 by thomasina: 8:47am On Aug 28, 2017
One major thing that fans of LG's V series have come to expect is next-level audio in their smartphones. The LG V20 featured a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) which basically converts your digital music into an analogue signal, allowing it to be amplified by speakers & headphones without yielding to digital distortion.



In layman's terms, it made music sound fuller & more robust, bringing it closer to how the original source would have sounded. If you are one of the people who has heard this kind of enhanced audio output, you know what a night & day difference it can have on your favorite music.



If you have not heard the difference, you’ll soon have the chance to do so, thanks to LG's announcement that it is bringing an advanced version of its 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC to its upcoming LG V30 flagship handset, & that it is extending its partnership with B&O PLAY.

YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: HP Unviels Omen X Laptop: 17.3” LCD, Core i7 + GeForce GTX with Overclocking

Powered by ESS Technology’s SABRE ES9218P, LG's new Hi-Fi Quad DAC will offer 2 new features that were not available on the V20 with the inclusion of digital filters & a range of sound presets.

The filters, which are usually found in high-end audio players, allow the user to customize the audio's impulse response, while the presets let you select between enhanced, detailed, live & bass characteristics. Users will also be able to on their own adjust the left & right audio signals to their liking –something which could be very useful for the hearing impaired.

You can get a look at the various presets & audio options that will be available in the LG V30's settings below.

Phones / Google Chrome Will Soon Let You To Permanently Mute Websites That Autoplay Video by thomasina: 8:49pm On Aug 27, 2017
Websites that autoplay videos the moment a visitor lands are not really gunning for the user experience of the year award, in my modest opinion, which is why I am very well looking forward to this Chrome feature that Google has come up with.

Google Chrome will allow you to permanently mute websites.



RoidPolice reports that Google is experimenting with a new feature which will enable users to permanently mute websites on a per domain basis.

Once configured, Chrome will automatically block that page from autoplaying videos with sound.

Google's François Beaufort mentions that thisfeature is still being experimented on by the team.

Websites that have been muted permanently will remain that way until the user manually unmutes them.


This feature is currently available in the latest Canary build of Chrome on the desktop.

Phones / 15 Iphone Apps That Are Better Than The Ones From Apple by thomasina: 1:26pm On Aug 27, 2017
Apple preloads all iPhone with a slew of its own first-party apps — but luckily, the App Store is brimming with substitute apps, many of which are better than Apple's.

Whether you are looking to organize your photos, get somework done, or get around town, we have scoured the App Store for the best apps that are better than the default ones on your iPhone.

Replace Mail with Email (from Edison).




It is extremely fast, highly customizable, &, most significantly, it is both smarter & more proactive than any other email app I have used. It automatically scans your emails for purchases, receipts, attachments, calendar dates, & more, & it will automatically put those emails into separate, correctly labeled folders that appear on your sidebar.

Replace Calendar with Google Calendar.



Like Apple's Calendar, it can pull in data from Google, Facebook, & iCloud, but it presents all the information in a much more handy way than Apple's default app does. The top half of the screen shows you the whole month, & the lower half of the screen shows you what's up next. You can scroll down to see what is coming up, & you can tap the top right corner of the screen to jump back to the present day. It's all very intuitive.

Science/Technology / Robot Now Performs Japanese Funeral Rites, No One's Job Is Safe by thomasina: 6:54pm On Aug 26, 2017
Thanks to Japan's Softbank, when the robot day of reckoning comes, robots will be there to say a prayer over your frail human remains.

That is the message from this week's Tokyo Int'l Funeral & Cemetery Show, where Softbank's Pepper robot demonstrated its ability to perform Buddhist funeral rites.



Draped in traditional Japanese funeral garb, Pepper not only presided over a faux death ceremony, it also chanted Buddhist sutras, takingover the usual role of a human monk during such ceremonies.

Pepper is not actually performing any real funeral rites, but Japan's Nissei Eco developed the funeral software for Pepper as an alternative when a Buddhist monk isn't available, or when the family can't afford the more expensive human practitioner.


Where the elderly are beginning to outnumber children, cheap, automated funeral rites may soon become the norm.

Foreign Affairs / John Mccain, Others Slam President Trump For Pardoning Joe Arpaio by thomasina: 4:27pm On Aug 26, 2017
President Donald Trump's decision on Friday to pardon former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio was condemd by Democrats & a number of Republicans. Joe Arpaio was convicted in July of criminal contempt for violating a federal judge's order to stop racially profiling Latinos when enforcing immigration law.

"No one is above the law & the individuals entrusted with the privilege of being sworn law officers should always seek to be beyond reproach in their commitment to fairly enforcing the laws they swore to uphold," said Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain in a statement.

The pardon is the latest issue to pit the Arizona Senators against the President, who spent time criticizing both McCain & Flake at his rally in Phoenix on Tuesday, when he hinted that he might pardon Arpaio.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused Trump of usingthe heavy focus on Hurricane Harvey to quietly pardon Arpaio.


"Joe Arpaio ignored the courts & the rule of law in order to systematically target Latinos in AZ," he said on Twitter.

The ex governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, yesterday pointed finger at the Senator representing Ogun East, Chief Buruji Kashamu, of sending hired killers after him.

He asked the police for additional security protection & to put Kashamu "Under security watch list & strict surveillance."

"Pray, why would Senator Kashamu go after a man who is at the twilight of his political career?"By the grace of God, the distinguished Senator Buruji Kashamu is PDP's highest political office holder in Ogun State despite the OGD's efforts to make him lose the election.


Why would he want to attack a former governor who has lostpolitical relevance six years after leaving office? Is OGD the only former governor in Ogun State?"Daniel & Kashamu belong to rival factions of the PDP in Ogun State. Their disagreement dates to Daniel's tenure as governor of the state."

Phones / Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Vs Galaxy S8: 4 Fantastic Differences Between Them by thomasina: 9:02am On Aug 25, 2017
If you are undecided on which of Samsung's latest flagship phones you should buy, this might help out.

Beyond a faintly larger display & a rather boxier design, the Note 8 has kept a few features to itself when compared to the Galaxy S8 & S8 Plus.

Write on the screen




A staple of the Note line has always been a big screen & the S-Pen. The Note 8's S-Pen is waterproof, more sensitive, & has a smaller tip for easier writing.

Samsung improved 2 S-Pen features on the Note 8, including Screen Off Memo & translation using the pen.

Screen Off Memos is now capped at hundred pages of notes, reminders, sketches or whatever you want. Translate is no longer restricted to single words & can now do complete sentences.

Camera tricks



This is an obvious one, given that it would require a hardware upgrade in order for the S8 to gain an extra camera.

With the second lens on the back of the Note 8, you can take photos that contain more depth-of-field information, which leads to a bokeh effect. In other words, the subject of your photo is in focus while the background is blurry. & with the Note 8, you can actually adjust just how much bokeh is used, before or after the photo is snapped when using the Live Focus feature.

One more cool feature, Dual Capture, gives you the ability to zoom out on a photo captured with both rear cameras, showing the entire scene instead of just the original subject.

Live Messages




Similar to Apple's Digital Touch feature, Live Messages will let you draw or write a message, & then share it in animated form.

Using the S-Pen you can draw on top of a photo or handwrite a message, & the Note 8 will record every pen stroke. The shared image is a standard animated GIF & should be playable regardless of the service used to send it.

App Pair




Multiwindow apps are nothing new to Samsung devices, with the Korean company implementing the feature well before Google integrated it into Android Nougat. With the Note 8, Samsung is making it easier to repeatedly use two apps at the same time.

The feature is called App Pair & is part of the Edge screen feature. Using App Pair, you pick two apps, say Calendar & Messages, as a shortcut. Then when you tap on the pair, both apps are opened in multi-window mode.

You can set any two apps as a pair, as long as each one supports multi-window mode.

Samsung Experience

Some of these features, Live Messages & App Pair, for example, don't rely on hardware. There's nothing stopping Samsung from updating the Samsung Experience software running on all current Galaxy devices with these same features.

A Samsung representative confirmed to CNET some of the software-based features would indeed eventually make their way to the Galaxy S8 & S8 Plus, but stopped short of providing a time frame or specific list.

Computers / Samsung Head Found Guilty Of Bribery & Embezzlement by thomasina: 8:31am On Aug 25, 2017
Samsung have no choice but to operate without its acting leader Lee Jae-yong for a few years, now that a South Korean court has found him guilty of bribery & embezzlement. The executive has been sentenced to 5 years in prison, much shorter than the twelve years he was facing. According to The New York Times, though, that's long enough to be considered a heavy penalty for a country that is used to doling out light sentences to major business figures.

Lee was arrested earlier this year after Samsung's involvement in President Park Geun-hye's scandals came to light.

It's worth noting that the Samsung conglomerate is involved not just in electronics, but also in shipping, medicine & many other industries.

The court said prosecution presented enough evidence to prove that the Samsung chief bribed the government to gain its support for the controversial merger.


Samsung has been doing quite well globally & frequently tops the list for smartphone shipments worldwide.

Foreign Affairs / Grace Mugabe's Immunity Challenged By South African Model by thomasina: 4:49pm On Aug 24, 2017
A South African model purportedly attacked by Zimbabwe's first lady has asked a court to annul the government's decision to grant Grace Mugabe diplomatic immunity.

Willie Spies, a lawyer from AfriForum - a civil rights group that has given legal backing to the alleged victim, Gabriella Engels - said on Thursday that South Africa's foreign minister "Misinterpreted the law" by "Recognizing the immunities & privileges" of Mugabe.

Protesters rally against Grace Mugabe at South Africa summit.

Court documents seen by AFP also ask the court to declare the diplomatic immunity decision "Does not confer immunity from prosecution".

The wife of President Robert Mugabe allegedly attacked Engels as the 20-year-old model waited with two friends in a luxury hotel suite in Johannesburg to meet one of Mugabe's adult sons.

Mugabe flew out of South Africa on a pre-dawn flight on a presidential jet on Sunday.


He said the decision to grant immunity was taken in line with "Internationally recognised immunity regulations" & admitted it was "The first time we have utilised this type of convention".
